More precisely, we construct a two variables knot invariant unifying both the ADO and the colored Jones polynomials. On one hand, the first variable $q$ can be evaluated at $2r$ roots of unity with $r in Bbb N^*$ and we obtain the ADO polynomial over the Alexander polynomial. On the other hand, the second variable $A$ evaluated at $A=q^n$ gives the colored Jones polynomials. From this, we exhibit a map sending, for any knot, the family of colored Jones polynomials to the family of ADO polynomials. As a direct application of this fact, we will prove that every ADO polynomial is q-holonomic and is annihilated by the same polynomials as of the colored Jones function. The construction of the unified invariant will use completions of rings and algebra. We will also show how to recover our invariant from Habiro's quantum $mathfrak{sl}_2$ completion studied in arXiv:math/0605313.","PeriodicalId":51331,"journal":{"name":"Quantum Topology","volume":"175 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79746984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, given a simple orbifold datum $mathbb{A}$ in $mathcal{C}$, we introduce a ribbon category $mathcal{C}_{mathbb{A}}$ and show that it is again a modular fusion category. The definition of $mathcal{C}_{mathbb{A}}$ is motivated by properties of Wilson lines in the generalised orbifold. We analyse two examples in detail: (i) when $mathbb{A}$ is given by a simple commutative $Delta$-separable Frobenius algebra $A$ in $mathcal{C}$; (ii) when $mathbb{A}$ is an orbifold datum in $mathcal{C} = operatorname{Vect}$, built from a spherical fusion category $mathcal{S}$. We show that in case (i), $mathcal{C}_{mathbb{A}}$ is ribbon-equivalent to the category of local modules of $A$, and in case (ii), to the Drinfeld centre of $mathcal{S}$. The category $mathcal{C}_{mathbb{A}}$ thus unifies these two constructions into a single algebraic setting.","PeriodicalId":51331,"journal":{"name":"Quantum Topology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88325039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
